This is one is for what Top Gear refers to as “petrol heads”: The Garmin Mechanic with ecoRoute HD turns your Bluetooth-compatible nüvi (Garmin’s line of complete navigation systems) or Android smartphone into a real-time diagnostic computer. By connecting the ecoRoute HD to your vehicle’s diagnostic system via your vehicle’s OBD II interface, Garmin Mechanic can get detailed system operation data, including engine monitoring, sensor and gauge data, fuel efficiency, and engine diagnostics. All that data and you don’t have to get your hands greasy for just $100.
